Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 6951. Ellis, G. B., [Chemische Fabrik vorm. Sandoz]. March 22. Grant of Patent refused. Dyes, artificial.-A leuco compound of gallocyanine is produced by beating the leuco compound obtained by reducing ordinary gallocyanine, in dilute acid solution for some hours until the evolution of carbon dioxide ceases, or by splitting off the carboxyl group from gallocyanine itself by heating in alkaline or weak acid suspension, and in the latter case reducing the resulting colouring- matter. The same leuco body is formed in both cases, and is very useful in printing, its colour lakes being substantially fast to washing and soaping. Specification No. 21,415, A.D. 1898, is referred to.

Ordinary wardrobe cupboards S may be arranged at the sides of the cabinet. The bedstead frame c, Fig. 5, extends into the cabinet beyond the pivots b, and is fitted with lugs d acted upon by springs arranged in cylinders g to assist in raising the bedstead. The springs may be put in and out of action by a lever h acting on a lever k engaging with a lug e' on a part e connected to the spring and sliding in guides f. A pivoted bar i serves to actuate similar parts on the opposite side of the cabinet. The bedstead is arranged so that the outer end may serve either as the head or the foot. When it is arranged as the foot end, an end board l, Fig. 4, is placed flat as shown in dotted lines ; but when it is arranged as the head, the board l is supported in an inclined position by a hinged member m. An adjustable back-rest n, Fig. 3, with hinged arms o is pivoted at p to a frame q hinged to the back of the cabinet. The frame q is adjustable laterally by a bar r, also hinged to the cabinet and connected to the frame q by a movable piece s.

Abstract: 3551. Guy, F. E. Feb. 13. [Cognate Applications, 11,891/09, and 16,063/09.] Multiplying and dividing apparatus.-Machines of the Thomas type, such as are described in Specifications 13,504/51, 65/84, and 27,364/03, are provided with means for operating, (1) the sliding numeral-wheel carriage or sliding plate either by foot-power, or by a connexion with the main operating-mechanism of the apparatus, so that it may take up its consecutive denominational positions ; and (2) the reversing-lever, also by footpower or automatically, to effect reversal of the operation from addition to subtraction. (1) The sliding plate 3 is adapted to be raised and moved forward step by step by a weighted auxiliary lever l, Fig. 1, pivoted upon a main lever h, which is rocked by a flexible connexion j attached to a treadle or the like, or may be actuated, Fig. 2, through a rack and pinion k, y by the main operating-lever a. As each digit of the multiplier is reduced to zero by the operation of the lever a, a stud t, Fig. 2, on the particular disk t<1> of the multiplier-indicator, rocks the lever u, which moves the bar v so that the hooked end thereof engages with a cam-shaped projection x on the shaft band raises the shaft.

Title: An Improved Fire Alarm.
Inventor: ALLAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H01H29/28
Filed: 1909-05-01
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 10,378. Allan, A., and Bowling, T. May 1. Alarms operated by expansion of gases.-Relates to fire-alarms of the kind in which the expansion of air enclosed in a tube causes mercury to rise in a U-shaped bend and close an electric circuit. Air, contained in vessels 1 located in any desired positions in a building &c., is adapted to expand through non-return valves 5 into the tube 2, which communicates with a U-tube 7 containing mercury 8. An insulated contact-wire 13 passes down a tube 14, which is adjustable in the cap 9 of the tube 7. When the mercury makes contact with the wire 13, a bell circuit is closed through the mercury, the tube 7, the cap 9, and a wire 10 secured thereto by a nut 12. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the mercury 8 overflows into a pocket 16 provided with a cap 15, through which the wires 10, 13 of the electric circuit pass; the bell thus continues to ring even if the vessels 1 and the tube 2 are destroyed.

Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 14,758. Hibberd, C. E. June 23. [Cognate Application, 16,141/09.] Electricity and gas, supplying by meter.- The mechanism is applicable to coin-freed apparatus generally, especially to apparatus adapted to receive coins of various values, and is shown in connexion with the prepayment attachment for gas-meters described in Specifications 17,877/05 and 8438/08, and in Fig. 1 with an attachment for an electricity meter which forms the subject of a separate application. Coin action, weight and multiple-coin. - The coin carrier comprises two plates a, b shown in the open condition, Fig. 3, and closed in Figs. 1 and 5, the coin according to its size being supported by one of a series of levers i, which are pivoted to the plate a, against one of a series of projections o on the edge of that plate. In this position the coin tilts the lever i (a pin n working in a slot in the plate), so that its arm n<1> lifts a slotted rod p, Fig 1, from the path of an arm m on the plate a. In the case of the smallest coin, the corresponding lever i has only to raise a small part r of the rod p. The operating - handle d has a pin- and - slot connexion e, f with the plate b. After prepayment the carrier, then in the closed condition, is rotated by means of the handle d, the plate a moving with the plate b, owing to the engagement of a spring-controlled catch u on the plate b with a projection w on the plate a, until a stop y, Fig. 4, engages the coin and arrests the plate. The stops y, one being provided for each lever i, are positioned so as to permit a rotation of the plate a proportional to the value of the coin inserted, notches x in the plate allowing passage. When the plate a is arrested the plate b moves on alone, the catch u escaping past the projection w, and a hooked arm s passing through an aperture t in the plate a and discharging the coin. A full forward movement of the handle d is ensured by a ratchet 45 and pawl 46, the pawl being thrown into and out of engagement with the ratchet by means of cams. The plate a carries a pawl 2, Fig. 5, engaging a ratchet 3 on a spindle c which is geared to the measuring-ont mechanism. To prevent overrunning of the spindle c, a pin 52 on a spring- controlled lever 53 pivoted to the plate a is held in engagement with apertures in a disk 4 by the catch u during the rotation of the plate a. A pin on the leaf b co-operates with a slide, which closes the coin slot while the carrier is being operated.
